Restaurant Review

The Rocky Hill Inn is an historic Tavern/Restaurant (circa1745) that reopened in 2008 under new management with owners Chef Evan Blomgreen and his wife Maria.

The ambience of the tavern/restaurant gives of a colonial/Victorian era ambience. There are two sides to the Inn; the tavern side, which has a bar and more casual seating, and the dining room side, which is more formal. There is also outside seating in the front.

The Tavern room has a relaxed, casual ambience with a full bar, TV's, rustic wood trimmings, hard wood flooring, and an eating area off bar with rustic butcher block tables.

The dining room is more formal Victorian decor done up with Milliken carpeting along with two fireplaces graced with antique glass decanters originally owned by the chef's father, and tables set with white linen tablecloths and napkins. The room gives off a light ambience painted in five colors and leaf chandlers. However, the room is overly bright without soft lighting that dampens the ambience.

The tavern bar is a popular meeting place and the focal point for meeting up with friends for a beer and a burger. They offer an excellent selection of craft beers from the tap and by the bottle including Mother's Milk, Guinness, Harpoon, Weltenburger, Ommegang, and many more.

Regardless of which side you are seated, you can order from either menu.

Chef Evan Blomgren, a graduate of the French Culinary Institute, honed his culinary skills at Lahiere's in Princeton, Chamber's Walk in Lawrenceville, The Metuchen Inn, and the Church Street Bistro in Lambertville.

Under Chef Blomgreen, the quality of food has achieved an upgrade from the previous restaurant. He brings his passion for sustainable farming and healthy food ingredients in his food preparation. Most of the ingredients are sourced from local farms including the produce, cheese, fish and meats.

The entree menu selections are "New American" with a French and Italian influence.

The Rocky Hill Inn is family and child friendly.

Available for small private paries in the Turret Room (circa1860) seating five to eight, with its original tin ceilings, and five full windows the room lends itself to a bright private area open to bar. For larger social gatherings and corporate functions of up to 40 guests, the Homestead Room upstairs is available.
